Panoramic view of Medellín.
The City of Eternal Spring lies in the Aburrá Valley in the midst of parks, plazas, and vegetation, and the 23° C temperature that gave it its nickname. The inhabitants of this charming destination are called “paisas”. With their drive and friendliness, they have made Medellín the second city in Colombia. This is a city where culture expresses itself in a multitude of ways. Just think of the sculptures by Fernando Botero, the Flower Fair, fashion, and textiles. Architecturally, Plaza Mayor, stands out as the most modern exhibit and convention center in Latin America.
